KILNER
I am researching our KILNER Family Tree. From letters, I know that John
Washington KILNER (B: 1892) and his wife Dorothy Margaret KILNER, both born
in England, immigrated to the Wenatchee area in 1920. Dorothy petitioned for
US citizenship in 1937, in Chelan County. John and Dorothy had at least one
son, John Patrick KILNER who is buried in Chelan County. He died in 1968.
John Washington KILNER died in 1975.
I am an Australian but live in a remote province of China. I would be
extremely grateful to any one who could give me any information regarding
this branch of our family tree.Jenny Elthamjennyeltham@jinfeng.sinogold.com.au 29 May 2005

I believe he might be the son of a long-lost relative, George W TABER. According to family stories, George went west and was never heard from again. I believe I found him in South Dakota census records and data indicates he married 3 times. He had a son William from his first marriage.

A William of the right age/birthplace with a mother Dalla/Della has been located in later census records in Idaho and Chelan Co, Washington.

WREN
I am looking for information on Mr. and Mrs. Ernest WREN. They were living in Wenatchee at the time their daughter Dorothy Mae WREN was born. Dorothy was born at the Deaconess Hospital on 15 Aug. 1946. I understand that the Deaconess Hospital is now closed. Where would the patient records for that hospital be located now?Betty Bisomcrazyhouse80@comcast.net 22 May 2005BROWN
BROWN, Ray C.

Ray BROWN was my grandfather and all my relatives on that side of the
family are deceased. I'd like to find out his birth date or any other info
(parents, etc.)

I was told he was in law enforcement when my mom, Inez Elaine BROWN, was a
child in either Cashmere, Chelan or Wenatchee. She was born 3 Oct 1932. I
think she was the youngest of the 3 children. There was a son lost young (I
think around age 7 to a fever or drowning?) and I'm not sure if he was
older or younger than my mother. The oldest was my aunt, Rae Jeannine
BROWN, 4 years older than my mother. All 3 are deceased.

LARKIN
I am looking for any info on Matilda Hupp Conner Larkin. I have finally
proved that my grt grt grandmother was married to a Larkin. A very nice lady in
Wenatchee sent this to me:

MRS. MATILDA LARKIN FUNERAL at CASHMERE

I am looking for information on a great-grandfather, Dawson MYERS, who is listed as living in Cashmere, Chelan, WA, USA on the 1930 US Federal Census. The Census indicates that he worked as a barber, a profession that he continued later in life. The Census does, however, indicate that he was born in 1890, whereas the SSDI and WA Death index indicate that he was born in 1885. The Census-listed birth state and, again, his profession, however match our information, which indicates that in most respects the Census lists him accurately.
We know that he lived in Yakima for some time and then in Ritzville, but would like to learn more. If anyone has further information on Dawson or his parents, siblings, etc., please contact me!Winni Hansenwinnizinha@juno.com 4 Jun 2004

BOLYARD, MURPHY, BUTLER
A branch of my BOLYARD family went to Chelan County in the late 1880s and
early 1900s. They seem to have disappeared! I would appreciate any clues to the
following:

1. Dora M. BOLYARD, b. abt 1880 in WV, m. in 1902 to David P. MURPHY, b. abt
1876. They were married in WV, and David returned to Chelan County WA with his
bride. She had not returned to WV when her father died there in 1911. Did
Dora and David have any children? Did they die in Chelan County?
2. Lilly D. BOLYARD, b. in 1877 in WV, d. in 1962 in Chelan, WA. She m. Thomas
Martin BUTLER JR as his third wife, sometime after 1895 and probably after
1940 when his second wife died. Can anyone narrow down this time span for me?
3. Holsberry C. BOLYARD, b. 1849 in WV, d. 24 Dec 1932, buried in Chelan Co.
Who were his children?

McCOY

My father, Vern(e) Lester GREEN, and his brother, Richard Paul GREEN, were
adopted in 1937 by Chelan County Sheriff Thomas H. CANNON and his wife Susan
Elizabeth (DOWNING) CANNON.
Their last names were changed to CANNON and Richard's name was changed to
David Paul. Their mother was Elizabeth (STEINBACH) GREEN, and she died in
1936. Their father was Lester Reeves GREEN; he gave the boys up for adoption
but lived in Wenatchee until he died in 1972.

Lester GREEN's mother, Josephine (BLACKBURN) GREEN, was living in Wenatchee
with her teen son, Benjamin, in 1926. I don't know if her husband, Felix
GREEN, was alive at this time. Vilas (Phil) GREEN was another son; he lived
in Winthrop, but died in Wenatchee in 1972. Benjamin GREEN was living in
Wenatchee when he died in 1967.

Elizabeth (STEINBACH) GREEN's parents were Christian STEINBACH and Magdalena
(HUETHER) STEINBACH. One of her sisters, Catherine/Katherine STEINBACH,
moved to Wenatchee in 1934 with her husband, William McCOY.

Thomas H. CANNON and his wife, Susan Elizabeth (DOWNING) CANNON were married
in Bridgeport in 1911, but spent most of their lives in Wenatchee (they moved
to GA in the 1960s.) Thomas H. CANNON had a brother in Wenatchee, Rupert
CANNON, married to Lillian.

Susan Elizabeth (DOWNING) CANNON's parents were Henry Martin DOWNING and
Margaret Aker (TIBBITS) DOWNING. They were buried in Sunnyslope Cemetery
1929 and 1913. One sister (maybe Mary (DOWNING) BARSTOW d. 1923) died with

Fronia HUDSON, Patrick HUDSON, Clarence HUDSON (My grt grandfather). All
died in Wenatchee.

My grt grandmother also came to Wenatchee with her family (James Buchanan
CONNER and Matilda HUPP). Her name was Etta May CONNER. (She had been married
before she came to Wenatchee.) Her marriage cert to my grt grandfather has her
last named listred as CUMBO.

30 years old, and Sherman, 28 years old. All except Leonard were born in
Michigan, probably Bay City, Bay County. Leonard, age 58, was born in New
York state. Leonard & Jennie were married in 1884 in Bay City, Bay County,
MI. They may have had more children than the two who were living with them
in 1920. I would like to know when they arrived in WA, how long they stayed,
where they went when they left, wives of the two sons. Also parent's names
of both Leonard and Jennie, what Leonard did to earn a living (he was a

528 Williams Avenue South, Renton, WA 98055BATEMAN, BUTLER
I am new at this so hope I get it right. William BATEMAN died in
1934 at the state hospital in Steilacoom, Wa. He was living in
Ridgefield (Clark Co.) at the time and is buried there. He was a
transplant from Michigan / Montana. I have located most info I can on
him. In 1934 he was living there with his wife Frances (BUTLER)
BATEMAN and her father James BUTLER; also, his daughter Rosemary BATEMAN,
born in 1925, and daughter Martha May, born in 1927. It appears that
William and Frances were married in 1924. Everything appears that Frances
BUTLER was from Wenatchee or the surrounding area. That may be where
they were married and even where the girls were born. After his death
in 1934, the family disappeared from Clark County and may well have gone
back to Chelan County. If (and I assume) they married, the BATEMAN name
changed and I cannot find them or their offspring (who I have reason to
believe are looking for us). We have the family history back to 1712
and it is growing all of the time. The BATEMAN girls and their offspring
are a lost part of the group. If you can assist us or direct us to
someone who can, we would appreciate it.William "Buck" Batemanbuckaroo@cwnet.com 14 Feb 2001McGREW

some of the family added the "s" to spell the name DANIELS. I believe

My BARCLAY family arrived in Chelan Co., WA, from Polk Co., MO, after 1901.
My grandparents were James Otis BARCLAY and Julia Frances BARCLAY (maiden
name was WALKER). My grandfather was a prominent carpenter in Wenatchee and
built a number of houses there from about 1901 to 1926. He died from a
broken neck after falling off the roof of a house he was building. He died
in Nov 1926. Julia died of heart problems in Nov 1936. They first lived on
"E" St. in Wenatchee and later moved into a house that he built on Chelan
Ave. They had 9 children, 7 born in POLK Co., MO; their names were: Gurney
Agnes, Sidney, Otis Ray, Bulia Catherine, Maggie May, Ida Ruth, and Olympia
Walker. These children grew up in Wenatchee. They had two more children
born in the "E" St. house, John Alexander "Jack" and Vivian Mattie. Jack
was born in 1906 and Vivian (my mother) was born 27 Mar 1909. Jack and my
mother attended Whitman School. My mother graduated from Wenatchee High
School in 1926. Jack BARCLAY was a prominent carpenter in Wenatchee from
1930s until his death in 1968. He helped build several schools in the
Wenatchee area. From 1920-30 my mother worked in apple packing sheds along
with her sister Bulia who worked in them until the late 1950s.
I am looking for any information on this family, especially obituaries of
James Otis BARCLAY and Julia Frances BARCLAY. They are buried in Evergreen
Cemetery located in Wenatchee along with their children Otis Ray and Bulia
Catherine Lowe and her husband William LOWE.
Any info on this family would be appreciated!Susan Haydensusan07@ix.netcom.com 12 Apr 2000

I am researching my PHIPPS and STEVENS surnames. My grandmother Mary Ellen
PHIPPS was born in Wenatchee, WA, 11 Jun 1907. She married James Oliver
WHITEHALL. Her parents were James Louis PHIPPS and Ellen Augusta STEVENS. Her
maternal grandparents were A.A. STEVENS and Helen CHASE. According to the
History of Central Washington, published 1929, A. A. STEVENS was a native of
New Hampshire. When he was about eleven he with his parents moved to
Minnesota and settled in Blue Earth County. In 1868 he married Helen CHASE
and of this union seven children were born, one being Ellen Augusta. The
others were Fred, of Boise, Idaho; Dr. Eugene M., of Doty, Washington;
Mattie, Mrs. J. D. ROSS, of Wenatchee; Maud, Mrs. Henry CLARK, of Rosebud,
Alberta; Josphephine, late Mrs. M. MOHLER, of Wenatchee; and Edward M. of
Wenatchee. The family came to Washington in August, 1889, and located in Latah
(not far from Spokane). It is unknown to me exactly when the family moved to
Wenatchee. In 1918, A. A. STEVENS was elected Chelan County Clerk and
reelected in 1920. It's only a guess but I believe that the first "A" in A.
A. STEVENS' name may stand for Augusta. I have no information on James Louis
PHIPPS as of yet. Any information on this family would be appreciated.Melody ByrdMKWTB@aol.com 25 Sep 1999CLEVELAND
